SPECIAL REPORT

Hot Growth Companies TO WIN A POSITION IN THIS TABLE, a company must excel in three ways. The selection process begins by ranking companies according to their three-year results in sales growth, earnings growth, and return on invested capital. The ranks in the table are calculated from these numbers. A company’s composite rank is the sum of 0.5 times its rank in return on total capital plus 0.25 times its sales- and profit-growth ranks. COMPANIES WERE DRAWN from Standard & Poor’s Compustat database of more than 10,000 publicly traded corporations. To qualify, a company must have annual sales of more than $50 million and less than $1.5 billion, a current market value greater than $25 million, a current stock price of at

least $5, and be actively traded. Banks, insurers, real estate firms, and utilities are excluded. So are companies with declines in current financial results or in stock price, as well as companies where other developments raise questions about future performance. SALES AND EARNINGS are the latest figures available through the most recent 12 months. Earnings include net income from continuing operations before gains or losses from extraordinary items. INCREASES IN SALES AND PROFITS are calculated using the least-squares method. If results for the earliest year are negative or not available, the average is for two years.

RETURN ON CAPITAL is earnings expressed as a percent of debt and equity. For ranking purposes, the maximum allowable annual return on invested capital is 100%. If companies have made substantial accounting restatements, long-term returns may be averaged for two years instead of three years. TIME PERIODS VARY according to the month of a company’s fiscal yearend. Profitability and growth are calculated based on the most recently available data. STOCK PRICE DATA are as of May 5, 2004. A ● indicates that a company also appeared in last year’s rankings (BW—June 9, 2003).
